Swedish Climate Ambassador reveals expectations from COP29

The COP29 provides a platform for countries to highlight how far they've come in the elaboration of their climate plans, Swedish Climate Ambassador and Head of Delegation to UNFCCC at Swedish Ministry of Climate and Enterprise Mattias Frumerie said in an interview with Report.

He said the expectations for COP29 would be to see the momentum in producing the new NDCs, the nationally determined contributions.

"And of course, also the new collective quantified goal on finance, the NCQG, is a key element and outcome of COP29," Frumerie said.

According to him, in this sense COP meetings are seen as the platform to showcase the progress being made, as well as the remaining barriers.

"All these various initiatives have an important role to play in seeing what has been achieved during the course of the year, and how can we work even harder to make sure that we're accelerating climate action globally," the climate ambassador said.
